Skier experience should matter too.


Killington does a great job given what they've got, but they need to start thinking a bit outside the existing box; other areas are catching up.
And just light up Dipper for crying out loud - it's the last trail they light up - it only needs a day or 2 of snowmaking all year and it's good for the season.
sort of agree. would like to see them break from the traditional rollout sometimes. in the canyon, instead of east fall, how 'bout downdraft - probably my fave canyon trail and holds snow better than most trails on the mtn.

Don't forget. Whatever they open early WILL get r*ined on and be icy the rest of the year.

Just sayin'.

Lower East Fall icy? What's next? Water's wet? Is nothing sacred?
